Advisory business
Evelyn Partners Asset Management Limited (EPAM) (“We”, “Us”, “Evelyn Partners”, “EPAM” or the “Firm”) is a United Kingdom (“UK”) based
wealth Management Company which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Evelyn Partners Group Limited. The ultimate parent companies
are Platinum LP. Guernsey Limited and Whitman Limited Partner LP (Cayman Islands).
Evelyn Partners provides discretionary investment management services across a broad range of client account types, including
(where eligible) investment portfolios, retirement accounts, personal pensions, trust and charity accounts and insurance
company accounts. The Discretionary Portfolio Service (DPS) allows for the purchase and sale of specific securities and can, in
some circumstances, allow for you to impose certain restrictions; meaning we will not purchase any securities which, for any
reason, you may not be comfortable holding.
As of 31 December 2024, the Firm managed approximately $1,213,158,729 USD in regulatory assets under management, with
$1,208,382,837 managed on a discretionary basis, and $4,775,892 managed on a non-discretionary basis.
In this document “’Client’ means all clients of the Firm and consists of any entity or natural person to which the Firm provides
investment advisory or management services, including each Private Investment Fund and all managed account clients.”
5.
Fees and compensation
Our charges are levied based on the value of the assets that our clients entrust us to manage. We will charge our clients on a
tiered basis which means that our percentage investment management fee will decrease as your assets increase.
There are three principal sources of cost to clients resulting from investment management:
1. Our fee for managing the portfolio
2. The underlying investment management fees of any funds that we choose to hold
3. Custodian charges from Pershing Advisor Solutions LLC.
The above 1-3 are further outlined below.
a. Evelyn Partners Management Fee
The annual fee for our investment management services would be a tiered fee as below:
Portfolio Value
Investment Management Fee (%
of assets)
Up to £250,000 (or USD equivalent)
1.25%
Next £250,000 (or USD equivalent)
1.10%
Next £2,000,000 (or USD equivalent)
0.90%
Above £2,500,000 (or USD equivalent)
0.55%
These fees are deducted from Client’s Assets on a quarterly basis.
We do not charge any fees for transactions, however there are transaction fees levied by our custodian Pershing (see
“Custodian Charges” below).
EPAM also uses other custodians. Further details, including fees, are available on request.
b. Underlying Fund Costs
The Ongoing Charges Figure (“OCF”) of the underlying funds ** that we would hold in the portfolio is currently 0.15% per annum.
The ongoing third party* transitional charges have been estimated at an additional cost of 0.03% per annum, based upon a
$250,000 portfolio.
Page 4
EVELYN PARTNERS ASSET MANAGEMENT LIMITED
*The fund costs are based on a portfolio using our current holdings for Strategy 3, which is appropriate for an investor who is
comfortable with low volatility of returns, typically having around 40% of their portfolio invested in equities, and who is able to
tolerate a loss of up to 12.5% of the value of their portfolio in any one year. This percentage loss is based on what might be
reasonably expected 95% of the time. The projected annualised rate of return over the longer term is the Consumer Price Index
(CPI) +1.5%.
**The external managers of the underlying funds held within the portfolio will levy an annual charge known as the Ongoing
Charges Figure (“OCF”) to cover their management costs. In addition to this there are also Fund Transaction Costs which are the
charges paid by a Fund Manager when buying and selling the underlying investments in their fund, including taxes, custodial
fees and broker commission. Both these costs are built into the price of the funds, and you are not charged these costs directly.
c. Custodian Charges
We do not charge any fees for transactions, however there are transaction fees levied by our custodian Pershing Advisor
Solutions LLC.
The main costs from Pershing are shown below:
•
US Stocks
$10 flat ticket charge up to 3,000 shares. Each additional share over 3,000 will be charged
at $0.01 per share.
•
US Mutual Funds
$25 per transaction
•
Non-US Stocks
25 basis points subject to a $25 minimum charge plus a foreign settlement fee*
•
Cash transfers
$20 for transferring money out of your account
•
Legal stock transfers
$40 per transfer
•
Account termination
$100 per account
*Please note that for non-US stocks, we will aim to buy cost-effective, US-listed versions of these companies where possible,
such as American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”). These are securities that trade in U.S. financial markets that represent the
securities of non-U.S. companies. The costs would therefore be associated with US stocks as opposed to the higher costs
incurred by buying the non-U.S. stocks directly in foreign markets.
EPAM also uses other custodians. Further details, including fees, are available on request.
6.
Performance-based fees and side-by-side management
Evelyn Partners does not charge performance-based fees.
7.
Types of clients
Evelyn Partners can generally provide investment management services to high-net-worth individuals and families, companies,
charities, trusts, private funds and financial intermediaries on a discretionary basis. Our minimum account size is £250,000 or the
USD equivalent.
8.
Methods of analysis, investment strategies and risk of loss
Our investment process is based on the principle that asset allocation will be the primary determinant of long-term investment
performance.
Each portfolio is run within a specific risk profile to which an asset allocation will be assigned with the goal of maintaining the
appropriate long-term risk reward parameters that have been agreed with the client. The appropriate asset allocation at any
given time will be determined by the quantitative and qualitative output of our investment process, considering such factors as:
•
Medium and Long-term economic trends.
Page 5
EVELYN PARTNERS ASSET MANAGEMENT LIMITED
•
Correlation across the asset classes.
•
Potential of return relative to cash, risk and inflation.
•
Time horizons to filter short term noise in favour of long-term compounding.
We expect equities to be the main driver of returns within portfolios, preferring a small, focused portfolio. Other areas of focus
are:
•
Consistent return on investment capital.
•
Relatively stable top line and high gross margins.
•
Predictable and robust cash flows.
•
Strong balance sheets.
•
Good management of brands.
•
Generation of free cash flow.
•
Consistent dividend record.
We also consider the effects of frictional costs within portfolios such as dealing costs, management fees and taxation.
The material risks of investing in our portfolios include:
• Market Risk – Arises mainly from uncertainty about future prices of securities. It represents the potential loss the portfolio might
suffer through holding market positions in the face of price movements. Evelyn Partners Practitioners will manage market price
risk on a daily basis in accordance with the investment objectives and mandate guidelines.
• Inflation Risk – The value of your investment will be affected by inflation. Unless the performance of an investment meets or
exceeds the rate of inflation, the real value of that investment will reduce.
• Interest Rate Risk – Interest rate risk represents the potential losses that the strategy may suffer due to adverse movements in
relevant interest rates. The amount of income receivable from bank balances will be affected by fluctuations in interest rates.
• Credit Risk – Credit risk is the risk that counterparties, or investment issuers will be unable or unwilling to meet a commitment
that they have entered into and potentially result in financial loss. The strategy will be exposed to settlement risk on parties with
whom it trades and custody risk. In managing this risk, Evelyn Partners seeks to work with and / or invest in institutions that are
well known, financially sound and where appropriate well rated by rating agencies.
• Settlement Risk – Default by a broker could expose the strategy to an adverse price movement in the security between
execution and settlement. When carrying out transactions in listed securities these are settled on cash versus delivery basis.
• Currency Risk – Currency risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange
rates. Currency risk is addressed by the Investment Manager buying predominantly global businesses with a well-diversified
currency profile. The currency exposure of cash holdings is actively managed on a regular basis.
Note: All investments involve the risk of loss, including (among other things) loss of principal, a reduction in earnings (including
interest, dividends and other distributions), and the loss of future earnings. Although we manage the assets in a manner
consistent with risk tolerances, there can be no guarantee that our efforts will be successful. You should be prepared to bear
the risk of loss.

11. Code of ethics, participation or interest in client transactions and personal trading
The following is a summary of Evelyn Partners’ Code of Ethics and Personal Securities Transactions Policy (the “Code” or “Code
of Ethics”) which has been adopted in accordance with Section 204A-1 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers
Act”).
A full copy of the Code is available to any client or prospective client upon request and without charge.
Evelyn Partners has adopted a Code of Ethics which applies to access persons of the Firm and any other person the Chief
Compliance Officer (“CCO”) deems appropriate.
•
The foundation of the Code of Ethics is based on the underlying principles that:
Employees must comply with relevant securities regulations.
•
Employees must at all times place the interests of the Firm’s clients first.
•
Employees must make sure that all personal securities transactions are conducted consistent with the Code and
Personal Account Dealing Policy.
•
Employees must report any violation of the Code of Ethics.
•
Employees should not take advantage of their position at Evelyn Partners Asset Management Limited.
Evelyn Partners’ Access Persons are required to adhere to the Code of Ethics and certify their adherence to the Code upon
commencing their employment and on an annual basis thereafter.
Furthermore, all Access Persons are required to deliver to the CCO, or the delegated compliance function, a detailed report of
personal transactions (covering substantially all securities other than exempted securities) undertaken during each calendar
quarter. Information in respect of any new brokerage accounts opened during the relevant period is also required to be disclosed.
Personal trading: From time to time, employees (and certain related persons) may have an interest in securities which are owned
by clients of Evelyn Partners. In such circumstances, the Firm has policies in place to ensure that the interests of the Firm’s
employees do not conflict with the obligations the Firm owes to its clients.
All Access Persons must obtain pre-clearance from the CCO or a delegated compliance function for all personal trades in
designated securities and also obtain pre-approval from the CCO, or the delegated compliance function, before engaging in any
outside business activities or applying for an allocation of an Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) or private placement.
Conflicts of interest- It is the policy of the Firm that all employees and others working on its behalf act in good faith and in the
best interests of the Firm and its clients. The Firm has Policies and Procedures in place to identify and manage conflicts of
interest.
Code Violations -The Firm takes any violation of the Code of Ethics seriously and will take appropriate action where necessary.
12.
Brokerage practices
Evelyn Partners has full discretionary authority over Client Accounts, including authority to make decisions with respect to which
securities are bought and sold, the amount and price of those securities, the brokers or dealers to be used for a particular
transaction, and the commissions paid. Evelyn Partners’ authority is limited by its own internal policies and procedures and
investment guidelines.
Page 8
EVELYN PARTNERS ASSET MANAGEMENT LIMITED
In selecting an appropriate broker-dealer to affect a client trade, Evelyn Partners seeks to obtain “best execution,” meaning that
the Firm will execute a securities transaction for a client in such a manner that a client’s total costs or proceeds in the transaction
are most favourable under the circumstances. Accordingly, in seeking best execution, Evelyn Partners takes into consideration
the price of a security offered by the broker-dealer, as well as a broker-dealers’ full range and quality of their services including,
among other things, their facilities, reliability and financial responsibility, execution capability, commission rates, responsiveness
to Evelyn Partners instructions and requests, brokerage and research services provided to Evelyn Partners (e.g., research ideas,
analysis, and investment strategies), special execution and block positioning capabilities, clearance, and settlement and
custodial services.
Aggregation of Orders - We may aggregate trade orders for the Client Accounts to achieve more efficient execution or to provide
for equitable treatment among accounts. Client Accounts participating in aggregated trades will be allocated securities based
on the average price achieved for such trades. Client Accounts will have an account with the relevant custodian.
Soft Dollars - Evelyn Partners does not and has no intention to use “soft dollars” generated by our clients’ trading activities to
purchase research services or products that would otherwise have been an expense of the Firm.
Trade Errors - The Firm's traders may on occasion experience errors with respect to trades made on behalf of the Client. Trade
errors can result from a variety of situations, including for example, when the wrong security is purchased or sold, when the
correct security is purchased or sold but for the wrong account, when the wrong amount is purchased or sold (e.g., 1,000 shares
instead of 10,000 shares are traded), or when a misallocation among the Accounts occurs. The Firm endeavours to detect trade
errors prior to settlement and correct them in an expeditious manner.
13.
Review of accounts
Each portfolio that Evelyn Partners manages is subject to a review. These reviews are designed to ensure that all accounts remain
within the Firm’s investment guidelines agreed with each client comparing the Clients Accounts’ performance to their stated
goals. In addition, all clients will receive a periodic review where the Clients situation and goals are discussed along with the
performance of the portfolio.
The client will receive statements regarding their account, its holdings, transactions and fees at least quarterly from the Firm
and / or Pershing Securities Limited or Pershing Advisor Solutions LLC.
14.
Client referrals and other compensation
Evelyn Partners is not remunerated by any party other than its clients.
The Firm does not currently utilize third party marketing firms for its U.S. clients.
15.
Custody
Advisers with custody of client funds and securities must maintain them with “Qualified Custodians.” “Qualified Custodians” under
the amended rule include banks and savings associations and registered broker-dealers.
Evelyn Partners does not maintain direct custody or possession of any of its client’s funds or securities. However, as client fees
due to EPAM are deducted directly from our clients’ accounts EPAM is deemed to have sufficient custody and control of client
assets pursuant to Rule 206(4)-2 of the Advisers Act.
Evelyn Partners or the relevant custodian will at least quarterly send a client statement to the client as well as annually sending
the Privacy Notice and ADV Part 2.
16.
Investment discretion
EPAM has full discretionary authority to manage the discretionary Client Accounts, including authority to make decisions with
respect to which securities are bought and sold, the amount and price of those securities, the brokers or dealers to be used for
a particular transaction, and the commissions paid.

17.
Voting client securities
Evelyn Partners will be notified of any action (which requires voting by the security holder) by the relevant Custodian.
Evelyn Partners will exercise any vote on your behalf and will always seek to vote in a manner that we determine to be in your
best interests. We maintain written records of the proxy vote on each occasion a proxy is voted.
Information on Evelyn Partners’ Proxy Voting Policy and how the Firm has voted a particular client proxy is available upon request.
Where any material conflict is identified, the matter will be referred to the CCO for input on how best to proceed
18.
